Good point. Needless to say there is nothing easier to control than a bunch of 20 yr olds with visions of sugar plums (and maybe a new car) dancing in their future! Ben should just sell them on the virtues of self restraint and convenience store roasted chicken!

Coached up? Great phrase. Yes you can improve some players game results, to a point. But there is a limit to that. If you have fair players and coach them up to decent, great. If you have decent players and coach them up to pretty good, great. And if you have pretty good players and coach them...

Count me in. One of the things they hired him to do was start getting some MN kids to stay. Changing that dynamic is a longer term project. He made some progress, plus he had a nice start with some outside players. Christie and Evans were good gets. Then Evans sold his soul to a Louisville...

The Asuma thing is interesting. Is Ben interested in the next Asuma? Reportedly he is an excellent baseball player. Plus the youngest one appears to be the best of the bunch?

Tubby is no longer here. Something happened to him? PJ is better than some past coaches but hasn’t even won the ever competitive West division once in 7? years. And I doubt Bens salary is the envy of some of the coaches some on this site lust after.

You must have been a big fan if you watched one game! And can’t remember who the loss was too. It’s not like you had a lot of game experiences to confuse you.

If MN doesn’t find more funding for NIL, or common sense asserts itself and the whole free agency thing gets straightened out, changing coaches isn’t going to really help. Some would call it the free market, which we all laud until it bites us in the ass. Some would call it greed, but only if...

If the data I read is correct, and if it isn’t I am sure someone will correct me, 1900 MB players and 1300 WB players have entered the portal? IF that is correct, or even if it is partially correct any angst over the Gophers losing players is misplaced. Ben Johnson is no more at fault for this...

Only since the early ‘60’s. Why do you ask?

The question I have is WHY would any highly rated QB or WR go to the U? PJ consistently is down with Army and Navy in pass attempts. Nothing in his history indicates he has any interest in changing that philosophy. In the past he has had a couple receivers who have turned onto decent, even good...

I tend to think it was part of the collapse. No inside info here. But if all other reasons fail, sometimes the easiest is the correct one. Something happened, and so far nothing else seems to make sense!

That might work, I can’t hear out of my right ear anyway!

It has become my goal in life to go ONE F*’lng day without out hearing the words "Caitlan Clark"!

You can win with local players the talent is there, but the options are small due to geography. That said you get all the top ones you would very competitive. But your recruiting rate would need to be in the 90 percentile It’s not a lack of talent, it’s the math.

The NBA might draft Christie on the come. And if they offer him a 2-3 mil dollar contract as some have said, he should sign it. Even if it’s G league. But he is not an NBA caliber player yet. Not even close. NBA level players don’t get shut out in college games. And while he can shoot, he cannot...

Quadruple likes here!

Is that like double trouble? Or even worse?

From the looks of things on GH everything that Ben does is vital. Who stays, who goes. Who we get, who we don’t get. Why he doesn’t talk more, or when he does talk why he says the wrong things. Needs a culture, doesn’t need a culture in NIL times. Eats pancakes for breakfast, should be eating...

Only as to their quiet demeanor. Said demeanor has little bearing on one’s success or lack thereof.

The comparison was about the low level of discourse from BJ curing insomnia…. Bud wasn’t noted for being verbose.
